Channel 4 News In this extended interview, directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor speak powerfully about their explosive new documentary, NAZA.  The film features 24 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers breaking ranks to expose the reality of the war in Gaza, from automated AI targeting systems to calculated civilian casualty rates, known as ‘NAZA’. Acclaimed internationally but branded treasonous by critics at home, the filmmakers offer a gripping, unflinching account of Israel's war on Gaza.

  by  Alan MacLeod Through its myriad of agencies, the United States government has recruited and groomed rappers from around the world to further its political interests. Washington has spent tens of millions of dollars funding, training, and promoting artists who foment public discontent, organize protests, and lead color revolutions in nations in its crosshairs.  In Bangladesh and Senegal, U.S.-funded rappers led political movements that toppled governments. Washington-backed musicians were the face of a failed counter-revolution in Cuba, and will likely be called upon again by the Trump administration. And artists in dozens of countries worldwide (including the U.S. itself) are paid to promote American government interests. This is the story of how the U.S. government uses hip hop, a medium of struggle pioneered by Black artists in New York, as a tool for regime change.

Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

The Grayzone The Grayzone 's Max Blumenthal interviews Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti, a senior member of Ansarulah's political bureau and governor of the Yemeni province of Dhamar, about the Yemeni Armed Forces' war with Saudi Arabia and its successful advances across Yemeni territory previously controlled by its Saudi-backed rivals. Speaking on October 20, 2026, Al-Bukhaiti confirmed that the Ansarulah-aligned Yemeni Armed Forces captured Mount Han overlooking the strategically significant city of Taiz.  This marks the latest advance in a military offensive that has seen Ansarulah, known popularly as the Houthis, seize new territory and hammer Saudi Arabia following the collapse of a four  year ceasefire between Sanaa and Riyadh.  Ansarulah's success seems to have the House of Saud on the ropes, with Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman calling on the UK, Egypt, Syria and possibly even Israel for help in beating back the onslaught.

Times Of India Iran-linked hacking group Handala has released footage it claims was recorded inside a high-security Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military facility, alleging that its infiltrators gained access to sensitive areas, including military headquarters and meeting rooms. The videos appear to show armoured vehicles, Israeli soldiers and a barracks containing weapons.  Handala has also mocked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over what it describes as security failures and threatened to release more footage and files. The latest claims follow the group’s October 18 announcement of a cyber operation targeting an Israeli military unit responsible for media intelligence monitoring and analysis. Handala claims to have published more than 500 classified documents and tens of thousands of internal messages. The group has also previously released images it said belonged to Israeli security personnel.

by Alan MacLeod Part 1 - Bangladesh: songs of subversion The U.S. government has observed the power of hip hop culture as a vehicle for expression, protest, and a political voice for young people,” Professor Sujatha Fernandes, a sociologist at the University of Sydney and the author of the book, “Close to the Edge: In Search of the Global Hip Hop Generation,” told MintPress News .  “Groups like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID earlier consistently chose Black cultural expressions from jazz to hip hop as a way of infiltrating those societies and trying to promote regime change,” she added.  One of those countries is Bangladesh.

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

Rachel Blevins   and Cyrus Janssen President Trump seems to think the deal he secured with President Putin for Russia to supply the global market with around 4 million tons of diesel in the coming months would be enough to get Moscow to accept a ceasefire in Ukraine. But Russia is holding firm that it will not give NATO time to rearm Kiev.  Cyrus Janssen, a geopolitical analyst and Host of ‘Real Talk with Cyrus Janssen’ on YouTube, noted that Trump’s diesel deal is “just a drop in the bucket” in terms of the fuel supply needed by the U.S., and the current crisis is the result of the U.S. war of aggression on Iran, which sparked the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

According to Israeli media, Netanyahu wants to strike the Houthis and defend Saudi Arabia to show Israel's strategic utility to the kingdom and lure it into a defense pact (Abraham Accords). MBS has thus far resisted, although unverified reports say Israeli advisors are already on the ground in Saudi Arabia to assist the kingdom. MBS understandably does not want an Israeli role - or at least not a visible Israeli role - as it profoundly undermines KSA's standing in the Islamic world.
